SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We observe with much satisfaction that meetings are about to be held in Cork and other places to consider the best means of promoting the execution of the Great South western Railway, recommended in the Second Report of the Commissioners. We are glad to have such convincing proofs that the healthy spirit of enterprise has not been stifled by that document, as has been rashly and inconside rately asserted. It has been already stated in this Journal that the line proposed by the Commissioners contemplates the connection of the cities of Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and Kilkenny with the metropolis ; and the circumstance that certain Companies had anticipated portions of this plan, upon views and principles of their own, has led to complaints and charges against the Commissioners, as if they had started with a deliberate resolution to discounte nance all previously-formed projects, indifferent alike to the public advantage and the private interests already involved. To show the groundlessness of all such petty attacks upon the Commission, we cannot do better than lay before the public the convincingreasons assigned in the report for preferring the lines there recommended and described to those which had already been projected upon partial and detached views, with no general regards to the great objects of railway com munication. Let us take, for example, the line from Dublin to Kilkenny, for the execution of which an Act of Parliament was obtained last session, and which the Com- missioners allow has been laid out with great judgment. The Commissioners object to this line as a main trunk to the south of Ireland upon the two following grounds : " 1. As a line to Cork it is four miles longer to Cahir (a common point) than that by Maryborough. " 2. The communication from the city of Limerick to Dublin, by any connection with it, excepting by a branch diverging at a short distance from the latter, is quite out of the question." The Commissioners, however, are blind to none of the peculiar advantages belonging to the line already laid out. They are fully alive," they state " to the importance of a direct railway communication through the rich and popu lous valley of the Barrow, which contains the towns of Athy, Carlow, Bagnalstown, and Leighlinbridge, and which would greatly facilitate the intercourse between the city of Dublin and the south-eastern portion of the county of Wexford." And, " under these circum stances," they proceed, " although we consider the Kil kenny line highly objectionable as the main trunk to the south and south-west of Ireland, and also a-; a distinct line from Dublin to Kilkenny, we think it might be desirable to connect it as a branch with the . main southern line recom mended by us at some point in the neighbourhood of the town of Kildare." We quote this as the best means of proving with what extreme injustice the Commissioners have been reproached with a blind and dogged determina tion to adopt none of the lines previously marked out, and allow no weight whatsoever to the arguments in favour of any plans not in perfect unison with their own. At the same time, having a public duty to discharge, and having the obligation imposed upon them to consider no partial line, however great its intrinsic advantages, without reference to that general system which it was the object of the Commission to determine and report on, the Com missioners add : " This view is thrown out for consideration. The Kil kenny Railway Company, having already obtained an Act of Parliament for their line, may determine to persevere and complete it for the whole distance from Dublin to Kilkenny. Should they do so, we are of opinion that the main southern line from Dublin, recommended by us, possesses so many im portant local advantages over the Kilkenny line, that we should strongly recommend its adoption, notwithstanding the loss which must ensue from their running parallel to each other for the first eighteen miles from Dublin, a loss which would be very injurious to the main southern, and absolutely ruin ous to the Kilkenny line. We have no hesitation in saying that any proposal to prolong the latter, in order to substi tute it for a main trunk line to the south-west, is inconsistent with the general interests of the country, and directly op posed to those of several extensive and most important dis tricts." It is impossible for an unprejudiced individual to read the document before us without perceiving and admitting that it has been framed upon the most comprehensive views of, and with the most considerate regard for, all the manifold interests directly or indirectly concerned in the establishment of railways in Ireland. We have a striking evidence of this in the tenderness evinced by the Commissioners towards the existing communica tions by canals, which in England have been so very little respected in railway projects. In discussing the merits of a proposed railroad from Dublin to Sligo, the course of which is parallel to the Royal Canal, and passes through the same towns, the Report observes as follows : " We are aware that in England this consideration has not been sufficient to prevent the adoption of railways between large commercial towns, which commence and terminate at the same points with existing navigations, as in the case of the railway from Liverpool to Manchester. But such policy is not suitable to Ireland, where internal traffic is compara tively trifling, and where commercial enterprise has hitherto made so little progress; and consequently in those localities where navigations have been completed on a large scale, and in a superior manner, at the cost of more than three millions, it appears to us to be injurious to the best interests of the country to promote other speculations, having a tendency to injure or destroy them. Hence, in suggesting lines for rail way communication, we have endeavoured, as far as local cir cumstances would permit, to adopt those which would open districts beyond the influence of existing navigations.", —Morning Chronicle. The present synod of Ministerial divinities in Dublin has given rise to anxious conjectures among those who deem the parties and their movements of more importance than we do. To us it is a matter of more than absolute indifference whether Lord Lansdowne parades his nullity, or Lord J. Russell his adroitness at manoeuvre, or Lord Morpeth, in conjunction with the others, his abject subser viency to O'Connell on this side of St. George's Channel, or to the Westward of it. There is no battery to be raised by them in Ireland, the fire of which can henceforth make the shadow of an impression upon the English mind. " Emancipation" is expended. The " tithe-grievance" is expended. " Enlargement of the franchise" is expended. The " abolition of the Protestant Church" is expended. " Corporate Reform" has twice exploded, and left no thing but foul smoke behind. " Justice to Ireland" is a rejected farce. " Repeal" has a dozen times flashed in the pan, and if it ever goes off, will shatter the hand that fires it. What machination is left for the Whig-Radical and Whig supporting enemy ! None. There is not a single round of ammunition remaining in the Popish arsenals. The convulsions of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, like the gaspings and tlounderings of a shark in his extremity, are but impotent exhibitions of despair and madness. They attract no sympathy, and threaten no result. The Irish rabble may doubtless be prepared, as they always have been, for extempore tumult, for violence, bloodshed, and destruction ; but it will be no longer at the bidding of the obsolete Agitator, who is now discarded by his late em ployers, the incendiary and rebellious priests. lylr. Daniel O'Connell rides no longer the whirlwind which, for selfish • purposes, he raised. He has abandoned the pretences on which he first appealed to the furious passions of his countrymen. Before; their eyes he has betrayed the expectations with which he himself inspired them, and has stood by no interests but those sordid ones of which, with more respect for the opinions of others than for his own, he has always disclaimed the exis tence. The authority once exercised by Mr. O'Con nell over the action of the Irish multitude has plainly though recently, dwindled into comparative nothing. A power from behind has broken in upon him. The priests are hourly enjoining their obedient flocks to place no further confidence in the Agitator, but to prosecute the ecommonis object s o f P opery b y means i n d epen d ent o f hi m . i a new era for the confederate of the Whigs, and it puts him in a curious relation with those official jobbers. Will th e R oman Catholic portion of the tail adhere to O'Connell after the Priest s h ave d enounce d hi m ? We shall see. Sh ould the tail waver f rom O'C onne ll , it w ill not be to un i te i tself the anti-Con ne ll and a to the Whi gs , b ut to coa l esce w ith anti-Whig democracy. What, then, becomes of Mi n i sters B t the mortified Agitator, un able or not asantr to carry the against the priests, any f urt h er w i th h i m, or the pey cocoon of a lon of is en gage d i n th e con cious Majesty the Queen?,u4‘ petitions" to h er " gra - for favours which (fortunately) the Queen has no power to grant, and w hi c h are one and all in the teeth of that to whi c h th e Queen's Ministers already stand poli l e y p edged to Parlia- He is to petition f or ment.

He is to demand " an equalization of the repre sentation in Ireland, as for England and Scotland ;" that is, an amount of Representatives for Ireland hearing the same proportion to those for Great Britain as the po pulation (we presume) of Ireland bears to that of Great Britain—in other words, about one-half, or 219 1-3 d members to 438 2-3ds. How is the Learned Agitator to settle this knotty point with Lord John-Finality-Russell These be the threatened conditions of the forlorn Agita- tor, failing which he is to agitate for a Repeal of the Union—that repeal which the present Lord Spencer de clared before Parliament that he would oppose by fire and sword, and at all the risks of a civil war, against O'Connell. Now O'Connell repeats his menace ; and what, we ask, will be the conduct of the Queen's Minis ters, Lord Althorp's former colleagues ? Will they act or associate any longer with Mr. Daniel O'Connell, the incorrigible promoter of Repeal ? It will be, at least, curious to watch the party relations of these worthies during the next Session, and the sincerity and consis tency of each in the pursuit of that policy to which it stands ostensibly committed.—Times. If we refer to the great manifestations of popular senti ment now taking place throughout the kingdom more fre quently than is agreeable to the taste of some of our readers, it is not from a desire to urge that feeling to any undue exacerbation, but solely that the real state of public opinion may be fairly and thoroughly understood. All parties in the State,even the Lords themselves—the most refractory of all parties—profess to make public opinion their golden rule of action, so that if it be desirable to bring the jarring elements of the present political chaos into harrnoniouscotn bination, the first object must be to ascertain distinctly the real state of public opinion. This being done, if there be any sincerity in professions of opposing parties, the union of all in carrying into effect the sentiments of the people would follow as a matter of course. But unfortunately man must look out for himself. To be surd, it was a very small sum to take a wife for. The LORD MAYOR—What a wretched creature she must have been to marry such a fellow as you. You must not b, g here. Why don't you go back to Scotland ? Prisoner —Then. your Lordship, a man might go to Scotland, but nobody ever goes back to Scotland. —( Laughter.) Brady, the street-keeper of Bread-street Ward, said that he knew the prisoner these twelve years, and so out-and-out a beggar and rascal was not to be found in the City. Prisoner—l never do beg, please your Lordship, except from a few friends of mine. They allow me a little sum every month, or six weeks, and when I was imprisoned it wa because I called at the Duke of Hamilton's when I was little sprung, and was unwilling to go without seeing his Grace, so the Magistrates 5 , 1 A me for fourteen days. The LORD MAYOR Well, I shall send you to Bri I w .11 for two months. Prisoner—Oh, Lord 1 don't do that. The LORD MATOR—I certainly shall. The City must miss you for two months. Prisoner—Consider that I am only newly married, my Lord, and that I have already been six days in prison, and that I am a cripple. The LORD MAYOR—I do consider all these things. I shall take off the six days from the two months, and your wife can enjoy her is. Gd. a week, and your friends be released from your importunities. QUEEN SQUARE. James Lally, a youth about sixteen, was yesterday charged with stealing a quantity of pewter. A police constable, who apprehended the prisoner, proved meeting him with the metal. On being asked how he became possessed of it he gave so many different versions of his story that he was locked up. Mr. WHITE inquired if there was anything known of him? Fowler, a constable of the B division, said that the prisoner and a friend of his had been apprehended about three months ago for felony. The prisoner had been discharged, the evi dence not being sufficient, in the Magistrate's opinion, to con vict upon; but his companion had received three month's im. prisonment. Mr. WHITE-Where did you get this metal ? Prisoner— Vy, it bad been "planted" for me in some rubbish ; but, upon my honour, I know nothing about it. Mr. WHITE—We find you-have been here b^fore? Priso ner—Yer Vlrship, that vos accident; they brought me here more as a evidence. the approbation of the people is claimed for acts diametri cally opposed to their most emphatically expressed opinions, and to their most manifest interests ; so that it is not so much with the hope of esta• blishing that happy amalgamation of parties as to take from the opponents of popular claims even the pretext of popular support, that we endeavour to give a true and impartial version of the signs of the times, and the policy thereby indicated. In reading these correctly, consist not only the secure and steady progress of Reform, but even the preservation of the public peace. With such consequences involved in the issue, too much importance cannot be attached to the close and correct investigation ' of the opinions operating through the great body of the industrial and intellectual classes. And, in the first place, we would efface the impression apparently made on some parties, and productive of so much alarm, that the present excitation of popular feeling necessarily in solves much danger to the property of the country, and threatens the demolition of our best institutions. This is a vision conjured up by interested factions merely to excite the fears of the timid. In no part of the world has the mass of the people a greater re spect for the rights of property and for their national institutions than in Great Britain. No English Radical, Mr. WHITE—I find you were remanded ? Prisoner—That vos cause they didn't 'xactly know vhere I lived. Tney kept me while they vent to see. The prisoner was ordered to be put back until some inquiries were made. He was ultimately committed for having illegal possession of ie metal. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Margaret Barrett, a young woman, whose ap pearance indicated great distress, was brought before Mr. William, in the custody of Dowsing. 51 E division, charged with having stolen 68 yards of dowlas, the property of Mr. Edward Birch, linen-draper, of No. 35, Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury-square. Prisoner, in an Irish accent, and crying —I did it through distress. My husband deserted me and married another woman. I had been without food for two days, when I COM mitred the robbery for the purpose of being sent out of the country. I did it to seek protection, rather than lead a life of prostitution. lam willing to work if I could get it to do, but I have no one to recommend me, and I am sure I am quite tired of my life. She was fully committed for trial. A case of considerable importance to coal-merchants, &e., came on to be heard yesterday at this office, before Mr. `Vella M. William Lipscome, carman to Mr. Hughes, coal merchant, of Shad Thames, was summoned by George Palmer, Esq , of Upper Woburn-place, Brunswick-square, for not earryine , weights with his weighing machine, and re fusing to weigh the coals when called upon to do so. The complainant ordered two tons and a half of coals, one ton of which was taken to the house by the defendant. when, on b:•ing requested to weigh them, he had no weights with his machine, which subjected him to a penalty of 20/., and not less than 51. however violent, but in his heart feels that there is much in the Constitution under which he lives worthy of his most cordial fealty ; no pauper, however desti tute, but would regard an indiscriminate onslaught on pro perty as the perpetration of the worst crime. But to re form and amend our institutions, and adapt them to the exigencies of the time, involves not their destruction, but their preservation ; and to give industry protection, and a fair field of action, is not to impair but to improve the rights of property. To give to the rich man many voices, and a controul over many more in the national councils, and to allow the poor man no voice at all, comports neither with the Constitution nor the due representation of pro perty. Labour is the great basis of all property, and while this is imperfectly represented. it is a delusion to talk of the rights of property being duly respected. Labour is, in fact, the property of all others which most needs protection, and has the least of it. Accumulatel property can always protect itself, and bears with it its inseparable influence. If it be asked, shall the illite rate artisan enjoy the same political rights as the man of thousands, we answer certainly, but he can never exercise the same political influence. It may be also urged that the working classes have not intellect nor time to arrive at just conclusions on questions of public interest, and in this we agree ; but if they have not capabilities of judging cor rectly themselves, they have abundant capability of distin guishing those who can judge for them, and the most illi terate amongst them can generally discriminate with in stinctive perception the person best adapted by talent, integrity, and zeal to counsel for the general good. It is not, therefore, in making concession, but in attempting re sistance to popular claims, that consists the great danger to the property and institutions of the country. But we have no fear in either case. Timely and judicious con cessions would certainly save the nation from injurious ex citement, but as to resistance there are no materials for any resistance likely to cause a national convulsion. In either event, however, the will of the people must be accom plished.—Morning Advertiser. The complainant's footman proved that the defendant was requested to weigh the coals, when he said that he was not bound to carry weights, as he had a perfect machine, but he offered to weigh them if witness would produce weights. A second waggon of coals were subsequently brought with a machine and weights. The defendant contended that the Act of Parliament did not require that weights should be carried with the machine. Mr. WITHAM said that they were bound to carry weights under the new Act of Parliament. How could they weigh the coals unless they carried weights with the machine ? He convicted the defendant in the penalty of five pounds and costs. _ _ vV The defendant expressed his determination to appeal, and he proceeded to Mr. Flower, the solicitor, of Hatton-garden, to consult with him upon the subject. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Maurice Posh,le, a half-naked Italian boy, was brought before Mr. CHAMBBRS, charged with having been found sleep ing in a stable. The boy when questioned, said he had been brought over from Florence by a man who made images, and who em ployed him and other boys to go about town and country and dispose of them. The sum which each boy was required to bring home nightly was six shillings, and if they failed to re alise that amount, they were severely beaten by their master. He had often received severe chastisement from his master who lived in a court in Leather-lane, Holborn, and having had the misfortune to become foot-sore from walking about so much, his master turned him out of doors, since which period he had wandered about the streets, subsisting upon broken victuals, and sleeping in any corner where he was permitted to lay his head undisturbed. Mr. CHAMBERS said he wished there was some law to compel the masters of the boys to send them back to their own country when they had done with their services. Inspector Beresford told the Nagistrate that there. Wad one Italian who made a living by bringing over such boys, and let ting them out like cattle, at so much per day, to the image makers and organ merchants. This individual had been known to have as many as forty boss for this purpose. Mr. CHAMBERS said the ranged and miserable condition of the boy made it an act of humanity to send him to prison. He should therefore commit him for one month. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A man of respectably appearance, who formerly kept a pub lic house in the neighbourhood of Brick-lane, was brought up for re-examination, on suspicion of having been concerned in an extensive robbery, committed some time ago in the ware house of Mr. Fellows, the silk-manufacturer, of Broad-street. On the 16th January last, the warehouse of Mr. Fellows was entered by thieves in the evening, and plundered of silk to the value of 8001. Soon afterwards a man named Shearman and his son, a boy of tender years, the latter of whom had been pre viously in the employment of Mr. Fellows, were 'apprehended and charged with having, with others, committed the robbery. They both confessed that they were participators. The son bad been induced by his villanous parent to skulk about the warehouse, and take the impression of the keys, and at half past six o'clock in the evening they contrived to enter the premises and remove the property in a cart. In the depo sitions taken before the Lord Mayor on the occasion, it was stated that the prisoner was the person to whom the silk had been given, and who had paid to the father and son their whack of the robbery, amounting to 42/ , and in the possession of the boy when he was apprehended was found the address of the prisoner, at whose house the thieves were said to have assembled. Mr. Fellows offered a large reward for the. apprehension and conviction of those engaged in the robbery. Shearman and his son, after having acknowledged that they participated, were permitted to go at large upon promising to do all in their power to assist Mr. Fellows in his endeavour to bring the other thieves to justice, and enter ing into their own recognizances to appear when called upon ; and the police have been making every inquiry after the pri soner, but never saw him until a few days ago, when an officer saw him looking in at a window in Ludgate-street quite un concernedly. Daniel Forrester, the officer, in con.v , quence of informat:on which he had received, went ten miles belos Reading and ap prehended the younger Shearman, and found in his pocket a piece of paper containing the name and address of the pri soner, whom he (witness) believed to be the owner of the public.house alluded to. Mr. Fellows said that the younger Shearman had stated to him that the prisoner kept the public-house where the thieves assembled, and had given to bun the address, which he had kept in hi; pocket-book ever since that period. Robert Tyrell, an officer belonging to the Post-office, saw the prisoner looking in at the window of a jewell, r's shop in Ludgate-street, and said to him, " I want you." " What for?" said the prisoner. " For the robbery at Mr. Fellows'," replied the witness. " I am not a person concerned in it," said the prisoner. Witness then took the prisoner to the Comp. ter, and found on his person a gold watch and 361. 15s. in cash. Believed the prisoner to be the man who kept the public-house where the thieves were said to have met. The Lord MAYOR, on the first examination, having refused to take bail for the prisoner's appearanco, the prisoner was remanded till yesterday, when, after hearing evidence, The Lord MAYOR said that, under all the circu,.stances, he would be satisfied to take the prisoner's own recognizances to appear if called upon. The prisoner was then bound over in his own recognizances. Edward Philpot, a carpenter on board the Grand Turk Boulogne steam-vessel, was charged with having had a quan tity of brandy concealed about his person in long bladders, so made as to be capable of being folded round the person without apparently increasing the bulk. A Custom-house officer having observed the defendant pro ceed from the water side towards a public-house on Fish street-hill, apprehended him on the charge of smuggling', which was carried on to an immense extent on board the steamers. The defendant said that the brandy was a little drop which he had intended merely for his own use. The LORD MAYOR.-1 have no doubt, from the preparations you had made, that you have been long engaged in this spe cies of robbery. Defendant—l assure you, my Lord, I was never accused of anything in my life before. The LORD MAYOR.I dare say you have often escaped. Such fellows as you do a vast deal of mischief. The vessel might have been seized in consequence of your conduct. You are fined the full penalty of 51. for this offence, or you must be imprisoned a month, and I shall take care that the case shall be reported in the proper quarter. The defendant was then ordered to be detained in prison until the whole of the fine should be paid up to the end of the month. A most impudent Scotch beggar, named Robert Anderson, was charged w i t h h av i ng applied to several families for assist. ance, by lett ers , conta i ning long catalogues of lies. The pri soner, wh o i s a cripple, had been remanded fr om a f ormer day, whe n h e declared that he never was a begging-letter writer, and that he was wholly unknown to the officers of the Mendicity Society. Yesterday the officers of the Society attended, and stated that he was a moat notorious imposter and vagrant for the last four years, and that he of London. m kne well the c h ar it a bl e peop l e Prisoner—Every word I have written is the truth, and if I have been imprisoned I have suffered unjustly. One of the officers.—My Lord, he has a large family, who hare supported by the pari s h, and he married a young wife t m ago. Prisoner—Yes ; I found it convenient to marry. It was to make myself more comfortable. The LORD MAYOR—What fortune did you get? Prisoner _Not much ; but little as it is, it is better than nothing. My eek.—(A laugh.) so married for 9d a The LORD MAYOR— A nd week? you . a my Lord. In so bad a world as this eighteen. pencea w Prisoner--Exactly, MARY LEBONE. Yesterday John Tate, a riling man of respectable appear ance, was brought up in custody of Franklin, an officer of the establishment, and placed at the bar before Mr. Hoskins, charged with stealing a silver ink-stand, value forty guineas, the property of Sir Josiah John Guest, Rat., of No. 1 3, Grosvenor-square. The prisoner, who vehemently denied the charge, was re manded. UNION-HALL. Elizabeth Savage, a woman far advanced in years, and the picture of distress, was charged with entering a cook -shop, and stealing a piece of boiled beef, weighing about five or s►x pounds. Elizabeth Guthrie stated that she keeps a cook -shop at Clapham, and that on the previous afternoon, while a bsent for a moment from the shop, on her retui n she missed a piece of boiled beef from the counter, and, on looking into the road, saw the prisoner hastening eff with something under her cloak. A policeman went after the prisoner, and she was stopped, and the piece of meat found in her possession. She was then taken to the station-house. The prisoner, who stood at the bar trembling from head to foot, said that at the time she took the piece of beef she had not tasted food for two days ; and that, seeing it in the window of the shop, she was tempted to go in and take it. The policeman said that on searching the prisoner he found thirteen pence halfpenny in her pocket ; and in accounting for the possession of it, when at the same time she declared that she had had no food for two days, her answer was that she was taking it to her daughter, who was rs ba.lly off as herself. She added that her husband, who was old and infirm, was, and had been for some time, the inmate of a workhouse. The ►Magis trate committed her for trial. WORSHIP-STRF.ET. Yesterday William Janson and William Howes, cabinet makers, were placed at the bar before Mr. GeovE, charged by police constables Clement and Barry, of the H division, with being drunk and with breaking the windows and stealing several tools, the property of Mr. George Shadford, cabinet manufacturer, No. 14,, Club-row, Bethnal-green, their em ployer. It appeared from the evidence of the officers that they were on duty the previous evening about half -past eight o'clock, when they came up to the prisoners, who were in the midst of a crowd of men and boys, who had collectel in front of Mr. Shadford's house. The officers were informed that it had been Mr. Shadford's wedding-day, and in pursuance of an ancient practice several boys were playing " rough music" before the door, fur the purpose of inducing the happy bride groom to bestow his bounty. The officers did not interfere till, urged by the prisoners, an attack was made on the windows and some were demolished. They then took them to the station-house. Upon further inquiry the officers ascertained that the prisoners had during the day conducted themselves in a very extraordinary manner, and during the absence of Mr. Shadford at church had p wined their master's tools, and with the money got intoxicated ; and that finding that the dinner was ready, they had compelled the servant to serve it up for them, when having comfortably enjoyed themselves they left the house. Mr. Shadford gave the charge of robbery at the station-house. Mr. Gaova inquired if Mr. Shadford was ready to appear against the prisoners? Clement stated that he was not, but he was informed that ho had the duplicates of the articles pledged. Mr. GROVE reprimanded the prisoners for their conduct, and stated that as their master did not appear against them they must be discharged. They were accordingly discharged. Yesterday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, a dreadful accident occurred to a stone-mason named William Beatic, in the employment of Mr. Thomas, builder, who has the contract for building the new church in Park-street, Southwark. The unfortunate man was in the act of slinging a block of stone for the purpose of raising it on the scaffold ing, when, from some cause unknown a similar piece, weigh ing upwards of one cwt., which had been already raised, fell on his head. He was conveyed covered with blood to St. Thomas's Hospital, and upon his head being shaved it was found he bad sustained a compound fracture of the skull, and a frightful w oun d un d er hi s c hi n . He lies in a very preca rious state. Several of his fellow-workmen had a most mira culous escape. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNIISDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1538.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of last Evening.) SUGAR. —The market for West India Muscovades has pre sented a lively appearance daring the past week; from both grocers and refiners there has been a general and active de mand, and an advance on previous rates of 6d to Is has been obtained, the grea*er rise on good acid fine grocery sorts, of which the suppiy is still small ; the purchases have amounted to 3,100 hhds and trs, which includes a public sale of 130 ►:hds 13 trs 15 brls of Barbadoes, which sold briskly at fully former rate 9, low to good mid brought 55s 6d to 625; the ar_ rivals since our List, have been heavy. which constitute the bulk of the supply for the season ; prices appear to have seen their lowest, at least for this year. The arrirals from the Ist Ja nuary to this time have been 17 661 hhds, &c,, heavier than in 1837. The deliveries for hone consumption have of late been on the increase, but from the Ist January to the 29th inst. they were 10,395 hhds, &c. less than in 1837 during the same period. The average Gazette price is now 5s Bid less than last year, and when compared with that of 1836 it shows a decline of 14s sd. This afternoon, owing to the accounts received from the We-t Indies being of a very unfavourable character, the negroes havin,i, , on most of the estates refused to work, caused several of the importers to withdraw their samp'es from the market, and others mostly refused to sell except at an advance on Friday's prices ; this the buyers complied with reluctantly. and there was only a limited business doing either for the scale or pan, the private purchases amounting to only 500 hhds and tierces at is above the rates of Friday. A pub. lie sale of 119 hhds 7 trs B , irbadoes went with spirit at pi ices Is to is 6d higher, fine sold at 64s 6d a 655, good 62s a 63s 6d, mid 61s a 61s 61, one 1“t ord 58s per cwt.
